filed with the Clerk, public hearing was continued from September 25,
1991, to consider an ordinanc.~ amending collier County Ordinance
89-05, providing for a Third Annual Update to the Capital Improvement
Element.
~.!~ . Planner Lavetry noted tha'~ this is the second public hearing for
subject ordinance. He po.[nted out that the final adoption of ':he
'.1991 Capital Improvement Elem~:nt Annual Update Ordinance will be m~de
!i/in March, 1992. He reiterated from the September 25, 1991, hearin(.i
that separate motions are to be made on each element and a final
?'motion at the conclusion of the public hearing for the 1991 Growth
'Management Plan Amendments and one for the resolution transmittinG
to the Department of Com~unity Affairs {DCA).
?Tr'affic Gir~lation Element
Mr. Lavetry pointed out that he has provided to the Board a meno
:from'Planner Holllng which transmits a modified Table 5 which is to.
~[replace the original found within the amendment package.
.'.~ Planner Perry referred to the report provided to the Board (not
..Provided for the record) regarding levels of service adopted In the
Growth Management Plan. He e~platned that the report identifies the
~,manners in which the levels of service are calculated and represented
as well as the pros and cons c,f changing the levels of service. He
~.. advised that there are no staff requested amendments to the adopted
levels of service which are current in the County's Traffic
Circulation Element.
,~(:~? Commissioner Volpe commented that the subject report mentions a
~system wide approach tn terms of establishinG our levels of service
wh~ ~s no~ ~e s~s~em currently used. Mr. Perr~ explained ~at ~e
Page 2
October 1, 1991
uses a link-by-link setting of levels of service rather thsn
istriot-wide system which is~ what Lee County uses.
Commissioner Volpe pointed out that the preliminary report prc-
'vlded by the Consultant relates that Collier County should consider
i~.dtstrict-wide system for determining levels of service which would
allow additional time for concurrency.
Mr. Perry acknowledged that if more time is requested to bring the
County into concurrency a plan must be developed for lowering the
levels of service and present it to DCA. He remarked that requesting
an amendment to change the concurrency date to 1996 may be accepted by
' DCA and will allow the County a couple more years to provide funding
for the required projects. Fie added, however, that there are projects
that have been committed to and concurrency will be required by
In response to Commissioner Volpe regarding maintaining the levels
of service, Mr. Perry noted that the population growth and increased
traffic rate are what determines the levels of service and are
reviewed yearly.
Assistant County Attorney Student pointed out that by requesting
an amendment for an extension of time, DCA could impose the 9J5.0()55
.Regulation which would not be In the best interest to the County.
Growth Management Director Litsinger concurred with Assistant
¥ Attorney Student and added that the regulation provides for'
· very complex procedures.
"~ Commissioner Goodnlght suggested that a review be made as to how
much it will cost the County to comply with rules and regulations of
~owth Management and compare it to the amount of funding the State
~would withhold if concurrency is not met.
Mr. Litsinger noted that the County-wide assessment distrlct pro-
vides for financial feasibility of the GIE; however, the County has
the option to find an alternative funding source.
·" Commissioner Volpe related that he is trying to find some flexibi-
lity to the ~994 time limit. Assistant County Attorney Student ~ndi-
cared that from a legal aspect an attempt to lower the levels of
~.~7 Page 3
October 1, 1991
ce would be a better proposal than trying to extend the 1994 con-
currency date.
Mr. Perry pointed out that next year an amendment will need to be
~made to request additional time because of the inability to commit to
getting the work done by 1994.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Student Informed that
result of non-compliance of the plan would be lost revenue sharing
funds from the State.
Commissioner Shanahen moved, seconded by Commissioner Hasse and
carried unanimously, to approve the Traffic Circulation Amendments to
· i:the CIE.
Commissioner Volpe recommended that staff provide to the Board
['additional informat[on regard:[ng adjustments in levels of service, the
~stem-wide approach, and the new rule as it relates to Collier
y.
Petition CP-91-1
Planner Edwards noted that the proposed petition had been con-
?'~inued from the September 25, 1991 hearing. She indicated that the
potition proposes an amendment to the future land use text under th~
~ urban designation section which would provide language to allow
'support medical facilities within a quarter of a mile of hospitals
ma3or treatment centers that p]~ovide treatment of all types of
~ ~nJuries and traumas. She explained that the Plan currently restricts
~the placement of support medical facilities within a quarter of a mile
of existinG hospital and ma3or treatment centers. She pointed out
that there is a current proposal to locate a new medical facility
~within the County, and under the current language support medical
~facilities would be prohibited within a quarter of a mile. She noted
?i.that the ability to locate support medical facilities within close
~[ ~oximity to a hospital or major treatment center wlll strengthen the
community health care services. She added that G~oup~ng of support
~ medical facilities with hospitals or ma3or treatment centers would be
}i&~'more efficient manner ~n which to serve the community.

~" October 1, 1991
- Xn answer to the question posed at the September 25, lg91,
hearing, Ms. Edwards informed that a definition of a hospital or major
;'~reatment center would be a medical center which offers primary and
,~urgent care treatment for al] types of Injuries and traumas such as
the Marco Urgent Care and the. Golden Gate Urgent Care. Ms. Edwards
iprovtded to the Board the specific language proposed for the amendment
as. well as the definition requested.
'4~ : Commissioner Hasse pointed out that there are two urgent care cen-
ters located in Golden Gate. Ms. Edwards clarified that the urgent
center located on Coronado Drive qualifies as a major treatment
center and the emergency facility on C.R. 951 would not qualify.
After some discuss~on as to the difference between the two factlit~[es,
!'>Ms. Edwards related that if the facility on C.R. 95! qualifies und~r
definition provided then :it would be considered a ma3or med]ca]
~'treatment center.
Ms. Edwards explained in answer to Commissioner Volpe's concerns
~that the quarter of a mile is a distance criteria, however a suppcrt
facility would have to meet the compatibility criteria before it would
allow to be built or property rezoned in the case of a residential
area.
Ms. Barbara Caw]ey of W~lson, Miller, Barton, and Peek stated that
proposed amendment does not change anything that is currently in
the zoning code or the Growth Management Plan except allowing support
medical facilities to be placed ad3acent to new major medical facili-
itles instead of only existing ones. She emphasized, however, that a
i.~doctor's office could not be located in a residential area because of
~>the compatibility criteria. She added that all zoning requirements
]iwould have to be met before a support medical facility could be built.
.She noted that the intent of the proposed amendment is for the con-
venience of the public.
i,',:~:~I Commissioner Shanahan moved and seconded by Comm~esionor Saunders,
!tO approve PetSt~on CP-9I-! as a Plan amendment.
Commissioner Volpe question~d whether there was to be a mandato]'y
October 1, 1991
r~q~trement that a support facility had to be approved concurrent with
the approval of a hospital o]r major treatment center. Ms. Cawley
advised that by requiring concurrent approval the Board is limiting it
~?jto one user. Commissioner Hasse asserted that he does not want to
imit .to one user.
!~,~:'~" Commissioner Volpe asked how the quarter of a mile i:~ measured?
Edwards informed it is measured from property line to propert1,
i line.
· . Commissioner Hasse indicated that measuring from the property line
not a valid method of measurement for this Issue.
Ms. Cawley clarified that the support facility cannot be built
before the major medical facility; however, it can be built con-
-currently.
Upon call for the guestion, the motion carried 4/1 (Commissioner
opposed).

Planner Soto advised that the subject petition is to request an
amendment to the text of the activity center sub-district of the
Land Use Element. She stated that the applicant proposes
flexibility tn the activity center boundaries. She indicated on
~':th'e display map where the applicants property is located on Marco
Island on North Collier Boulevard and Bald Eagle Drive. She stated
that the proposed amendment would allow for a flex provision to the
aC.ttvtty center boundaries. She noted that the activity center sub-
? dt'strtct has two existing flex provisions. She Informed that the
petitioner's proposed flex provision would address the smaller parcels
that do not qualify for the two existing flex provisions. After
